Sunset Series - Are salt marshes the key to defending the NW coast

Joseph Earl from Morecambe Bay Partnership explores the Bay's amazing salt marshes and explains how they can help protect our communities from rising sea levels and climate change.

Driven by climate change, coastal areas around the world are facing an increased flood and erosion risk. We’ll explore how these risks might impact Morecambe Bay’s coastline, and the possible solutions we can put in place to defend it.

We’ll discover the crucial role that natural environments like salt marshes, found extensively around Morecambe Bay, could play in protecting people and places from climate change into the future.
Joseph will explore the unique ecological and coastal defense value of salt marshes and discover how we can better support and manage them through a new coastal management project around the northwest.
